‘It was fun but I could really not enjoy it to fullest because that was my first episode at work after having my baby,’ Christian said.

‘She was a C-section so I was still recovering, I’m still recovering. But we didn’t quite gauge the weight – it was a real rocket launcher. They thought it was about half the weight that it was. I couldn’t carry a heavy purse, much less a 45 pound rocket launcher.’

Season 10 will see a major character departure as Danai Gurira leaves the role of Michonne.

When chatting to the Los Angeles Times, the star opened up on her departure, and gave an insight into what viewers can expect.

She told the publication: ‘I know nothing. But what I will say in my know-nothingness, the great thing about this show is they are very, very, fantastic at creating great structure for everyone’s story.

‘I was in a room where they have all the pictures of people who have left the show, and everyone’s exit has been so specific and really resonate in its own, very original way.’

She added: ‘There was no exception to that in my case, I’m very thankful for that. And I was allowed to be a collaborator.

‘But they created a very, very, very sound structure of how Michonne exits, which I was very thankful for.’

The Walking Dead returns 7 October at 9pm on FOX.
